GODLIKE: The Invasion of Jericho Bay

In 1942, the Japanese launched an ineffective attack against the Aleutian Islands off Alaska in the hopes of drawing American forces from the conflict in the Pacific. This poorly planned and executed invasion did not last. Time, weather, lack of supplies and an American counter-invasion all spelled doom for the operation.

Many believe this was the only physical invasion of the United States by the Imperial forces of the Japanese Empire. They are wrong. In 1945, during the hectic battle for supremacy on Okinawa, a portion of forces from both sides of the conflict were ripped 7,420 miles away from combat and dropped on an isolated island off the coast of Maine. There another, secret battle was waged in the small fishing town of Jericho Bay between a small force of Japanese irregulars, the remnants of a squad of the 6th Marines and the townsfolk.

In this scenario, the players take the role of Talents (Army, Navy or Marine) pulled from the cauldron of battle in Okinawa and sent through the mysterious Bubble which has engulfed a portion of the island, halting the progress of the invasion forces.

On the other side they find that war, especially war on your own home soil, is always less easily fought than one might imagine.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
